London lyrics
by Vanessa Carlton
[Verse 1]
Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age
But time betrays me
And I get older one more year
[Verse 2]
Walk London's windy streets
Go anywhere but home
'Cause I'm looking for the secrets
That only cobblestones hold
Only the cobblestones know
[Chorus 1]
And I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
[Verse 3]
You've got a knife-throwing kind of love
But your silence cuts the deepest
And I know I've made a mess of things
And I'm sorry for all that
Wish we could get the time back
[Chorus 2]
Because I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
[Bridge]
Wait for it
Wait for it
[Verse 4]
Now I'm staring at the sun
As if there's a riddle I'm not in on
'Cause the wolves howl to the Moon
And she never answers back
No, she never answers back
[Chorus 3]
And after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never, never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come, oh
[Outro]
Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age
